BOYDS, Md. (July 8, 2017) – Brazilian forward Marta increased her team-leading goal total on Saturday afternoon, pacing the Orlando Pride (4-6-4, 16 points) to a 2-2 draw at the Washington Spirit (3-6-3, 12 points) on Saturday afternoon. With the draw, the Pride have now picked up points in three straight road appearances.
“I thought for the first 25 minutes we controlled the game, controlled the tempo and went a goal up then we self-destructed. It took us a little bit to come back into the game. We were in the game for many periods in the second half until near the end and then we allowed the initiative to go back to Washington,” Head Coach Tom Sermanni said postgame.
